Gaming: UFO alien invasion

Remember the old PC game UFO by X-Com?
when you had to train a special force to stand against alien invasion?
and its sequel Terror from the Deep?

well some bunch of bored ( thanks god!) guys decided to create a re-make of the game, which is running on quake graphic engine...
the game is still in developement, and lots of parts still missing, but you can download the release candidate, play it... and submit the bugs you have found... if you are abored computer geek.. you are more than welcomed to join the efforts and help with the debugging of the game...

well, read it yourself...


UFO: ALIEN INVASION
is a strategy game featuring tactical combat against hostile alien forces which are about to infiltrate earth at this very moment.
You are in command of a small special unit which has been
founded to face the alien strike force.
To be successful on the long run, you will also have to have
a research team study the aliens and their technologies in order to
learn as much as possible about their technology, their goals and the aliens themselves.
'UFO: Alien Invasion' is heavily inspired by the 'X-COM' series by
Mythos and Microprose.
The first game of the series, 'UFO DEFENSE', became a classic and, in our honest opinion, is one of the best games ever made.
'UFO: Alien Invasion' is neither a sequel nor a remake of
'UFO DEFENSE' - we simply had the urge to create a similar
strategy game, which will hopefully be as entertaining as the
original was for the players (and for the developers, of course ;) ).



I loved it.. although it crashes when the aliens attacking your base...
anyway for my russian speaking public who don't play computer games...check this link...

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
